Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

It's a unique, historic, beautiful, friendly place to stay, old flint cottages off the beaten track in a tiny village in the south downs with a church dating back to the 10th century - thanks to Ambrose Gorham who bequeathed his estate in 1933 for all to enjoy the peace and tranquillity in perpetuity...

Okay

Ipthere were convenient kitchen facilities, including a large fridge for use by guests. The rooms were very small and the bunk beds were a bit squeaky - my 15 yr old didn't feel very safe on the top bunk. We arrived in the dark and had some difficulty finding the hostel, as did other cycling guests whose Sat. Nav. had taken them through brambles and lanes.
The two temporary wardens were very friendly and welcoming and helpful.
We wouldn't return as for a one night ferry stop it was a bit out of the way and we didn't get the best night's sleep to prepare for a long drive through France. But I guess I should have thought of that before booking a hostel.

Wonderful

Good atmosphere and friendly team as soon as I walked in. Not too busy so space to spread out and got a lower bunk. Quiet location.

Was not easy to find as checked the site map and followed from the seashore road BUT no road or YHA signage and final stretch of road across a farmers field and he has gated it; fortunately a local knew of the hostel and gate issue, long standing, and re-directed me. Good to flag up on site map to approach from Lewes side roads.
